Is my modem borked? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I keep losing data randomly and the only fix is to cycle airplane mode. Any idea what's going on?

I'm having the same issue but the app didn't fix anything. It only started the last week or two, and I've only been using CM10 and nothing else. I've flashed the different radios, including the new one, the L7? Did that today and still haven't noticed any thing different.
Not sure if it's the ROM after a certain date or something.
I have always had roaming on and national roaming on too. Never had issues in getting 4G until the data started cutting out completely.
Any other suggestions? I don't think apps are going to help.
It also seems that I'll have WiFi when the phone is on, but when I put it to sleep, it switches to data. When using data in the car and I put the phone to sleep, then it goes from data to no-data.
Real frustrating.

That app is just a gimmick... why else would it hide the status bar? It most likely just toggles airplane mode like i have been.

same issue also I am on codefirex 11/11/12 build. for me I will lose 3g after approx 30 mins of use and then no service....so I reboot the pH and I get 3g back.

[SOLVED]Can't get 4g or 3g. Only E.

I fixed it by flashing a new ROM and wiping all the data!
Someone please help! I don't know what to do!
Nevermind, I think I fixed it!
I fixed it by changing the band to GSM Preferred/GSM ALL but now I only get E. Any way I can get back 4g?
Change it back to automatic or Odin kl1 modem from rootzwiki team kang post.

I changed it to auto, and i'm getting signal. Time to check if 4g. Thanks.
EDIT: It shows signal, but Im not getting any. Can't send text or browse web. Time to odin modem.
I flashed it, and I went to settings and looked at the network mode: It was GSM only. I changed it to auto mode. It seems to still get and send texts, and I looked at band selection with the dialer code, and there wasn't a star besides anything. I think it might've worked, but I still only get e.
By flashed I mean odined. Lol

I tried changing it to automatic in the band selection menu, and it showed signal, but texts didn't send.

I had same issue and this is how I fixed it.
disable data connection and switch your phone off, remove the back cover and remove sim card completely. Then re-insert sim card and turn your phone back on and it should ask you to re-enable data connection once it boots up.
let me know if this helps

I did this, but it didn't ask me to turn it back on, so I turned it on manually, and still only E.

Other phones receive 3G? Perhaps T-Mobile is servicing your area? This has happened to me but I had no control over it.

Weird. My issue was that I was testing a few of the skyrocket modems. After using Odin to get kl1 it worked again. Yeah i would sugeest resetting apn in wireless settings .

Here's what I did that messed with my 3G
I flashed skyrocket roms.
So what I did was wipe everything. Go to mounts and storage and format system. Then flash Juggernaut or any other rom you desire. Then you're done

Sprint automatic connection, under mobile network/auto connect uncheck it.
Ok thanks man. Does you phone go into roaming a lot? Mine does, I had the OG Evo and it was never a problem but this new phone seems like it's always in roaming. I have already done a PRL update multiple times.

WiFi turns off by itself

Got my sgs3 Sunday and when I got home turned on WiFi and started playing with it I notice that I lose network for a second after about 15 mins and my WiFi icon on the status bar disappear but network comes back on .. but in settings it is greyed out and I can't turn it off then back on till I reboot 0_o...thought maybe after I rooted and flash AOKP it would be fixed but no! I'm on T-Mobile and AOKP..so is it a bad WiFi driver or...? Any ideas?
#*0011# press the menu key. Select wifi. uncheck wifi power saver mode. Its should be green when on black off. Make sure its not on and done go back to home screen. Your phone should reboot the wifi driver and your done.
This method works for 4.0.4 any of the roms. Cm10 doesn't work. Cm9 haven't tried but I'm sure it'll work for u.
Hit the thanks if I've helped!

JB has these wifi issues I was expiriencing the same problems on cm10 as well. (I know not the same but both are jb) I decided to downgrade to the intrigue rom r3. It has smooth transitions. Real buttery and it let me access the wifi power saver mode by down ng the method above. I'll look into aokp and see if I can find a fix for u.

For anyone who has already turned off WiFi PSM, is anyone experiencing this setting turning itself back on? I have turned it off twice today and every so often it turns back on which ends up turning my WiFi back off...

Question: are you rebooting your phone when this happens?
Cuz if you are that's normal on every reboot you have to go back and turn it off again.

I was not rebooting the phone. I am currently trying a different rom to see if that solves anything.

Well it still keeps happening. I switched from intrigue rom to freegs3. I'm currently using the phone at work and it happened right before my eyes while using Tapatalk... I had to turn off power saver mode yet again

would the method above work for me? since yesterday, my wifi kept turning on by itself. After I turned the wifi off for like a couple minutes then it'll turn on automatically again. I have the Keep Wifi on during sleep set as "only when plugged in" and it never happen to be before until yesterday. My power saving in the setting menu has always been off too. Please help! :crying::crying:
Install the app called "Wifi Fixer" app to the solve the issue.
Whatever Google did to cause a variety of wakelock problems, having a strong wifi signal seems to solve them. Apparently, wakelocks occur when there are unreliable connections to Google's servers.

AOKP internet problem!!? Please help!

Ever since last night my 4g/3g has been on and off.. And off more times then on.. It keeps saying "no interent connection" in the notification window. Retarded the phone 20 times. Deleted downloaded cache I even updated the rom this morning... This is so annoying. And its no my service because I used the CM10 and everything was working perfect. I go back to AOKP and no interent connection. It has bars at the top but nothing like "H" or "H+" next to it when its off.. Idk why this is happening. Everything was perfect. I was chilling last night at the bar trying upload some pictures and ever since then this problem started..
Maybe try updating your modem?
And be nice to your phone, don't retard it

Mine did the same. It would drop off the data network sort if speak. Toggle and it won't come back on. Call and text were fine. Data was gone

Did you lose data signal after flashing a rom? Read this. It may help

I flash alot of roms on my galaxy s2 and about a week ago my data completely disappeared. My calls and texting worked but no internet whatsoever. I could use wifi but that's it. I found a quick fix that may work for you too.
I read that this is a known problem with the phone and T-Mobile will replace if under warranty but I'm not with T-Mobile so I'm assed out lol.
Ok here we go. Its very simple:
Menu, settings, wireless settings, toggle airplane mode repeatedly and rapidly till you see the E for edge. Stop to see if it comes up fully. If not reboot phone and try again.
Note: I rebooted twice before it came back on fully.
Hope this helps :thumbup:

I am looking for a longer term fix. Loosing data causes my google voice to hang up on calls for some reason... I can get it back on by toggling 2g, data sync, airplane mode etc, but I am looking for a long term fix.
Unfortunately the only long term fix is to send back to Samsung to be fixed and even that is not guaranteed.
